Polar ecosystems are subjected to many stressors, including climate change, that impact their overall functioning. Seabirds are good bioindicators of these systems as they readily respond to changes in environmental conditions. To quantify how environmental changes afect their life history, data on seabird diet, spatial distribution and body condition are needed to reveal the underlying mechanisms. ...

The cost of caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to increase worldwide. The cause is not only a steady increase in the prevalence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in both developed and newly industrialised countries, but also the chronic nature of the diseases, the need for long-term, often expensive treatments, the use of more intensive disease monitoring ...

Cells in living organisms are dynamic compartments that continuously respond to changes in their environment to maintain physiological homeostasis. While basal autophagy exists in cells to aid in the regular turnover of intracellular material, autophagy is also a critical cellular response to stress, such as nutritional depletion. Conversely, the deregulation of autophagy is linked to several diseases, ...

Mange studenter bruker uhensiktsmessig mye tid på ineffektive måter å lære på, og vi ønsket å gjøre noe med dette. En lære-å-lære-intervensjon ble pilotert høsten 2023 på et fellesemne på førsteåret for 600 helseprofesjonsstudenter fra 12 ulike studieprogrammer og med 40 involverte veiledere fra ulike studieprogram. Vi utformet intervensjonen med utgangspunkt i KBCP-rammeverket (McDaniel& Einstein, 2020).

Alle deler av livssyklusen til forskningsdata blir gjennomgått: planlegging, innsamling/generering, strukturering, lagring, dokumentering, arkivering og deling (så åpent som mulig og så lukket som ...

Recent advances in laser technology enable to follow electronic motion at its natural time-scale with ultrafast pulses, leading the way towards atto- and femtosecond spectroscopic experiments of unprecedented resolution. Understanding of these laser-driven processes, which almost inevitably involve non-linear light-matter interactions and non-equilibrium electron dynamics, is challenging and requires ...

Estimation of chlorophyll (CHL) using ocean colour remote sensing (OCRS) signals in coastal waters is difficult due to the presence of two other constituents altering the light signal: coloured dissolved organic material (CDOM) and mineral suspended sediments (MSS). Artificial neural networks (NNs) have the capacity to deal with signal complexity and are a potential solution to the problem. Here ...

Medical research often requires access to sensitive personal health data. According to GDPR, such access is only possible under certain legal bases, such as consent. Verifiable and secure management of health data access is thus essential for promoting public trust in organizations that manage sensitive health data, for ensuring legal compliance, as well as for motivating patients to participate in ...

Pilot for programfinansiering har gitt kommunene et økonomisk handlingsrom og initiativ til å utvikle helhetlige tjenester til utsatte barn og unge og deres familier. I flere av kommunene har det skjedd en betydelig kulturendring. Ledelsen og ansatte på tvers av tjenestene snakker ikke bare om viktigheten av tverrfaglig samarbeid, de har også begynt å endre praksis. Dette betyr at kommunene tilbyr ...
